Currently running 16.8 degrees timing in 3rd gear. I increased timing by 5 degrees this morning and it was considerably quicker. Smoking all 4 tyres on accel.

My concern is however the timing is gear specific as controlled by the OEM ECU. Increasing the timing that suits 3rd will cause huge timing figures in the lower gears...possibly explaining why Tao's M35 exploded in 2nd gear at part throttle.

There is a speed vs fuel map in the EMU however no speed vs timing. I might look at translating speed to a 0-5v signal to utilize the temp vs timing map in the EMU since the OEM ECU handles that anyway.

There is no question we have more power to be extracted. I just want to be smart about how it is controlled.

What's 1300lb torque in NM? I tried an online conversion tool and it gave me the result of 1700NM!

I have no idea what formula you used.. but I'm going out on a limb to say its incorrect. TE = T*R*1000/r I dont know the gear ratios, diff ratios, or rolling radius of Matts tyres so it'd all be a stab in the dark.

Dyno sheets are just a tuning tool, I'm looking forward to it having a run at AIR and seeing what numbers it can put down!

Agreed it's a weird figure that's at the rear wheels. Makes no sense and is definitely not 1700nm and a reference-able figure. Good for highlighting the torque curve only. It's certainly making decent torque. I just need to connect the rpm trigger on the dyno next time to get a normal type of output. Will do this when I get around to actually tuning the timing. Only running 16.9 degrees ATM.

Keen for AIR also. Need to fix the damage from it coming off the dyno first.

I realized its a tuning tool, it was out of curiosity to see what the VQ makes vs the B5 Audi S4 2.7ltr twin turbo.

Torque figures on roller dynos are usually pretty inaccurate from a numerical perspective (perhaps they can be accurate with correct information input). my pulsar has made anything from 600 to 1000NM's lol

Yea you need the info that Dunc mentioned above to accurately work out the torque. I think what is displayed on the dyno is tractive effort or some crap which then needs to be converted using the ratios etc as Dunc mentioned

Are there options for me if i simply want to upgrade core to one with a steel turbine rather than ceramic ? I have not seen it pop up at all and it is an upgrade in terms of material used

like a hi-flow?

I'm not aware of a direct fit steel wheel replacement. Of note. If you fitted a direct fit steel turbine you would go backwards in terms of torque(low end response) there are small high flows available now which respond very similar to stock.

What are their wheels made of? Are they just a Garrett core with our housings or something else?

I think that's what stripey wanted, just a basic high flow that will respond similarly to stock but without the concern of the ceramic wheel.

Yes you can get a Garrett core replacement. Original replacement with the ceramic turbine has steel ball bearings and the newer Garrett cores are Ceramic Ball bearing with inconel turbines. As long as the rebuilt unit is ball bearing or CBB you will claw back some of the benefits of the ceramic turbine.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
